Jim Beam Red Stag and been infused with natural flavours of Black Cherry. Jim beam four year old bourbon goes into this bottling with an infusion black cherry to give a taste that is smooth and sweet with corn and ripe cherry flavours

Taste : The delivery through controlled at first, is massive! Then more like confusion as that smoke on the nose turns into warming, full brown peat, but it far from gets its own way as a vague sherry trifle note(curious, seeing how there are no sherry butts involved) - the custard presumably is okay vanilla hammers home that barley - fruitness to make for a bit of a free for all; but for extra food measure the flavours develop into a really intense chocolate fudge middle which absolutely resonates through the palate;

Finish : A slight struggle here as the mouthfeel gets a bit puffy here with the dry peat and oak; enough molassed sweetness to see the malt through to a satisfying end, though. Above all the spices, rather than lying down and accepting their fae, rise up and usher this extraordinary whisky to its exit;

Crafted by John & Alexander Manson since 1797, this selection of Non Chill-Filtered Glen Garioch illustrates the distinct house character- honey sweetness, hints of heather and just a touch of spice.

Nose - Sweet vanilla and butterscotch show the influence of North American Oak with fruitier green apple and grapefruit coming through at the rear.

Palate - At first the palate is sweet with hints of buttercream and vanilla. As this begins to ebb, the fruitiness of the green apple skin and citrus cleanliness leaves the palate refreshed

As bourbon ages, a portion of the liquid is lost from the barrel due to evaporationthat's the "Angel's Share." After aging, when the bourbon is dumped out of the barrel, a certain amount of whiskey is left trapped within the wood of every barrel.
We call that the "devil's cut."
To create Jim Beam Devil's Cut, an extraordinary new bourbon experience, we developed a proprietary process that actually pulls the rich whiskey trapped inside the barrels' wood after they're emptied. We hold this barrel-treated extract until it develops the proper balance of bourbon notes, then blend it with 6 year old bourbon and bottle at 90 proof. The result: a robust, premium bourbon with deep color, aroma and character.
A distinctly bold bourbon with rich flavor unleashed from deep inside the barrel wood.
The TasteFull bodied with intense oak and vanilla notes.The FinishLong, smooth, with a hint of sweetness.

Fruit for this wine was selected from cool estate and grower vineyard sites within the Sonoma Coast boundaries all within 30 miles of the Pacific Ocean. The resulting blend is a complex, layered wine, representing the spectrum of growing conditions found within the Sonoma Coast. It embodies incredibly concentrated wines on the extreme coast with the deep and spicy qualities of the Russian River Valley; the dark earthiness of Los Carneros with the bright red fruit of the Green Valley.

Dead Man’s Fingers Spiced Rum was released in 2015 by the owners of The Rum & Crab Shack, a delightful rum and seafood restaurant in picturesque St. Ives, Cornwall. The business proved so successful that they have also recently opened another Rum & Crab Shack in Exeter. To our knowledge, it's the first spiced rum to be blended and bottled in Cornwall.

Dead Man’s Fingers is a blend of Caribbean rums from Barbados and Trinidad that warms he cockles and stirs the soul; in other words, it is very tasty indeed! We get saffron cake, Pedro Ximinez ice cream, caramel and vanilla with cinnamon, nutmeg and orange notes. Delicious!

This is a very easy drinking spiced rum that can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or mixed with cola; once opened, a bottle of Dead Man’s Fingers tends to disappear rather quickly. As you can see from the reviews, this is very highly rated by people who have tried it and is one of our best selling rums of all time.

The rum takes inspiration from Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, a premium rum from Venezuela. It was after one boozy night drinking this that Rum & Crab Shack owners Neythan Hayes and Chris McGuire decided to open the Rum & Crab Shack! You can read more about this on our blog ‘Dead Man's Fingers - Cornwall's Newest Small Batch Rum’.

Ron Miel Cayo Grande Honey Rum is a sweet, soft, luscious rum product from Spain. It's a staple of returning holiday makers who often sample it on one of the Canary Islands and want to re-live the experience at home.

Production: Bud musts. Controlled fermentation at 28 C. Fortified with alcohol distilled from wine at up to 19.5. Palomino and Pedro Ximinez are racked into clean casks while waiting to enter the Criaderas y Soleras system.

The fresh zest of orange, lemons and grapefruits are also used along with angelica root, orris root, green cardamom, almonds, cinnamon, liquorice root. The final botanical in this wonderful gin is Devon violets, sourced from Tarquin’s own garden!

South Western Distillery is headed up by Tarquin who is so proud of his creation he puts his name on every bottle. He believes in doing things the old-fashioned way, even if it takes longer. Only the best and most pure spirit (the heart) makes it into Tarquin's Gin, which is diluted to bottling strength at 42% with Cornish spring water. Tarquin's Dry Gin is made in small batches of just 300 bottles at a time before being hand selected, bottled, labelled and signed by Tarquin himself. This attention to detail goes some way to explaining why this is our best selling Cornish gin.

The Kings Ginger Liqueur is the emphatically ginger liqueur that was specially formulated by Berry Bros & Rudd in 1903 for King Edward VII. Rich and zesty, it was created to stimulate and revive his majesty and has been appreciated by bon viveurs, sporting gentlemen and high spirited ladies ever since. The Kings Ginger is a high strength liqueur, at a warming 41 abv, it is created by the careful maceration of ginger root, enlivened by the judicious addition of citrus in the form of lemon oil. Although heartening on a cold day as originally intended, it is a splendidly uplifting tonic to be appreciated on its own all year round as well as in any number of cocktails and long drinks.

Tasting notes
The Kings Ginger is seductively golden in appearance. On the nose it has an instantly warming aroma of ginger, zesty lemon, sherbet and golden syrup. It has an initial sweetness on the palate followed by a bite of ginger and lemon tart, with a deliciously satisfying and warming mouth feel.
The finish is lingering and extremely long.

As natural as tequila can get, el Jimador Blanco, which means "white" in Spanish, is a remarkably crystal clear tequila that is bottled immediately after distillation. But dont let that clarity fool you, this tequilas unique taste comes straight from the 100% blue agave it's made from. A crisp, authentic tequila with subtle cooked agave taste and hints of citrusy sweetness that make it the exceptional choice for great tequila cocktails.

Australian Shiraz has forged an enviable reputation for huge unrestrained flavours that are exemplified by this wine.

FOOD MATCH Perfect with slow cooked
